Pasonanca Park
Known throughout the world as a tourist attraction, it was named as the “Beautiful Park” in the past. It has become a popular site for youth citizenship training and for boys and girls scout jamborees. To those who come from the north, Pasonanca Park is known as the “Little Baguio” of the south due to its cleanliness, coolness, and wholesome atmosphere, and its being nestled on a height of 500 feet above sea level and surrounded by verdant hills and mountains. In the 1959 contest for parks, plazas, and gardens nationwide, Pasonanca Park won first prize as the number one garden of the Philippines. Construction of this park was begun in 1912 by General John “Blackjack” J. Pershing, military governor for Mindanao. The park is about 7.5 kilometers from city proper.

Summertime Picnics

Summertime, kids, and picnics are meant to go together. Having a picnic doesn’t have to
be reserved for a day out at the beach or park. Kids love to eat outside, especially if it
means they don’t have to stop playing to come inside and get cleaned up. If you are
going to have a picnic during an outing, be sure to practice food safety and have icepacks
in with the food or cooler. Summertime Picnics
